THE APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE,
A Washington special to the New York
Times saws: at is Interesting to know, ii |
the report be true, and il comes from so |
good source as scarcely TO warrant chal-
longing, that Mr., Carlisle is the only prom
incnt Democrat who now hcsitNtcs to make |
new chairman for the committee ON APP |
preparations in place OF Mr.. Randall, Mr.. |
Carlislc'S advisers are men OF less leglsla- |
tive experience than he hut they are also |
men who care less for what Mr. Randall !
may do il he is relieved from the burdens
OF appropriations work and asked TO de-
vote himself 10 some other branch
OF legislative work, while the Demo.
Gratis address themselves 10 the task OF
revising the tax lists and removing bur
dcns, and while they also stop the flow OF
money into the treasury. The Democrats
who believe that more progress can De
made without Mr. Randall than with him
are moro numerous now than they were ON
December Is, 1885, when Mr.. Randall and
TWENTY-FIVE other members who were
elected rs Democrats fell into the process
sion behind Mai. Mckinley, OF Ohio, and
helped 10 make nvote OF lll to ~ against
going into committee of the whole House
TO consider revenue bills. The motion
needed u majority 10 carry H. II Mr. Ram
dalls followers, or u third OF them, had
voted with the majority of the Democrats
the motion would have prevailed. The
Democrats who voted ~ryinst taking M
revenue bills were rs follows Hiss, Bowie,
Campbell of Ohio, Curtin, Erncntrout,
Foran, Gay, Geddes, Green, Irwin, Law
Ter, Lcicvrc, Martin, McAdoo, Mcriman,
Muller, Randall, Scncy, SoWdcn, Sprlggs,
Stahnccker, st. Martin Wallace Ward
OF Illinois, Warner and wilkins. OF this
| band Of assistant Republicans more
than hall have disappeared from
| sight, victims OF different political
vicissitudcs. Those who remain arr,
| besides Randall, Mcsrs. Bliss Of New
/ York, Ermcntrout oi PENNSYLVANIA, Eowu
| oi Ohio, Gay Of Louisiana, LAWYER OF Hi
| nois, McAduo Of New Jersey, Mcuimun al
| New York, Scn,y. SoWdon ut Pennsylvania
S;ahlncrkcr oi New York and wilkins ui
/ Ohio. The Democrats have in the House
| u majority OF fifteen. II they lose half of
/ the twelve Democrats who last year fol
| lowed Mir Randall, they will still be- m q
, majority upon motion like that made 10y
| Mr.. Morrison ON December is. What
are the chances? Mr. bliss Is
scarcely likely To 'turn down the
State convention that declared for q
reduction ol taxes ly SlUu,OoO,OlO. Mr.
Eumculrout may bc depended upon tu
sncrzr when Mr.. Randall takes snuil. Mr.
Fumn made a conspicuous lny ui himself

10 be- Randall man IN the tariff to q con
Ncntion that alicrward spoke clearly lul

sugar planters, and against removing ih,
sugar tax. Mr. Ia, Icr will vote az cir

ON the money side. ar. McAdoo says Ia

FORE il can be- done, lac must vote for
7 motion 10 consider Mr. MCuim1n vii
probably do thr same thing. Mr. srury ]
likely Ia vote again with Mr. Randall, nu'
Mr. Sowdcu, Who made au open dcclnrl
ton lt the Allentown convention that 10
was lor tariff reform, may be- expected q
trat the administration with muu pspuU
than Mr. Randall did on That uuua
